Eleven-year old Olda has had an accident on his bicycle and the ambulance is taking him to the hospital with head injuries. Before he is taken to the operating theatre where they will sew up the wound, the boy rests on the stretcher in the casualty ward. Olda is certain he will go home as soon as the operation is over and is disappointed when his mother telephones the nurse. He doesn't want to cause her needless trouble as she is anyway bringing him up as a single parent. When they clean his wound, he takes the pain with clenched teeth, especially as a girl lying in the bed next to him watches him keenly. His mother comes to the hospital and the boy gives her the shopping, which he unfailingly got for her. In the operating theatre, Olda is brave again. Only later, alone behind a curtain at the casualty ward, can he finally relieve his feelings and let the big child's tears roll freely down his cheeks.
